You would need a new head unit to do that. The mach 460 wont work with that application. One with r/l outputs like those with AV equip would be best. Simple to hardwire and cheap to plug in so long as you can get an adapter kit for those wires.

its easy with the right harness. theres a specific harness you need with mach 460. I know crutchfield will give you the wrong one.
